suggestion to viset California he
will not go in the presidential yanht
unless it is manned by Pat Curtis or
the Pirate or some other compe
tent men instead of his own private
family compact If he and thoy
could not proceed as far as the

that the onorgetio managor can
evolve from his inventive executive
genius some methods of arranging

public generally selects its paper to
suit its tasto and does not care for

Honolulu July SI 1896
Tho immonso fortunes that
nro now being invostcdi n bicy
clo mnmifncturing in ncnrly nil
countries of tho world oven in
cluding modernized littlo Japan
aro thrilling to read of
Thoso littlo horse destroying
conveniences are now being
manufactured by tho millions
instead of by tho fow hundreds
of ton or fifteen years ago and
it is estimated by a cicylist
authority that thoy aro at least
7000 different patents nntl de
signs in connection with them
But wo noto in an English
exchange tho curious fact that
tho palaces and parks of tho
die hard aristocracy aro gradual
ly succumbing to tho inevitable
and passing into the hands of
tho cicyclist autocrats Tho itom
informs us that Trafford JPark
Sir II do TralTords seat near
Manchester has beon purchased
for 360000 1800000 by
the syndicate which recently ac
quired tho Dunlop Tyro and
Singer Co It is proposed to
mako tho estate tho seat of tho
cycle and rubber trade
Now wo havo made such a
success of our different brands
of wheels that our fa mo has
gone abroad Wo havo our own
predictions in favor of a cer
tain make but when unsoli
cited wo receivod a consignment
of a popularly favorite brand
without a flaw perfection itself
in strength beauty and shape
and manufactured by a world
wide known firm wo could not
bo discourteous enough to roturn
them without endeavoring to
put them on tho market Tho
fact is wo have had six of those
celebrated Zimmerman cham
pion wheels for gentlemen sent
to us and wo invito cyclists to
call and inspect them and to use
their own judgomont as lo
whether thoy want thorn or not
As thoy havo beon sent to us
on consignment wo prefer to
sell thorn and close tho consign
mont instead of returning them
Wo therefore offer thorn at 70
oach instead of at tho regular
price of 100 Wo admit that
thoy aro boautios and wo dont
think thoy will bo on our hands
for many days but as wo havo
only half a dozon on hand tho
first applicant will huvo his
pick Thoy aro first class high
